Project Status

At this point in the integration project you have obtained buy-in from senior management and have some thoughts on where the benefits will arise and what problems may be thrown in your path. The next steps are to firm up your analysis of the current status of PSM and ESH management and develop a more detailed plan and cost for the project. At the same time you will be developing better estimates of the benefits that will be derived from integration.

Example of Interview with the Chairman for internal communications 

A We have seen the benefits that redesigning other business processes have brought the company in terms of quicker and more appropriate response to change. I expect to see these same benefits in PSM and ESH. 

Perhaps, even more important, is the stagnation in our safety and environmental performance in the last five years. Until five years ago, we had seen dramatic year on year improvement in every aspect of safety and environmental performance. This has slowed down in all areas and ceased altogether in occupational safety. I expect that these changes will invigorate all our programs. Our current safety and environmental performance costs us at least 30 million each year in avoidable costs such as capital damage and clean-up costs. If we could put a dollar value on injuries to our work-force, the savings would likely be ten times this amount.

Specialist software can help with these tasks. Standardized reporting structures, for example, allow each team to report the project status regularly to the integration office. An automated comparison with the master plan highlights possible deviations and makes transparent interfaces and dependencies between actions. 

This paper describes the status of the development of the Exxon Donor Solvent (or EDS) coal liquefaction process. It includes an overview of the jointly funded project and a brief description of the EDS process. It also includes a discussion of the project status, including a description of coal feed flexibility, hydrogen and fuel gas production alternatives and the progress in the construction of the 250 T/D pilot plant. Other communications have covered the R D program, the outlook for commercialization, and the organization of the EDS Project (1,2, 3,, 5, 6, J) ... 

The gap analysis serves to identify the gap between current project status and what is required to achieve the project s objectives. The analysis should summarize both technical and commercial requirements for the project to succeed, including timing (e.g., a statement on when the project needs to establish a sales force to achieve market penetration).

Measuring the success of the ATP is very important to us. ATP has an outstanding team of economists who are helping to build a strong story of ATP success. In fact, we just released a status report of the first 38 completed ATP projects, Performance of Completed Projects Status Report Number 1 The status report identified seven projects as potential home runs. When I identify a project as a home run, it must not only have a product in the marketplace, it must also offer big economic benefits. In fact, the benefits from three of these initial projects are projected to more than exceed the entire investment in ATP to date. Two of them are in the biological sciences, but one is in automotive...

Thus, the output from one manufacturing campaign offered about 140 kg of the active substance robalzotan at a steady-state scenario, which equates to an overall yield of 13 to 14%. However, considering the situation from a strictly commercial point of view with requirements in the multitonne range per annum, then some major drawbacks appear. The current method requires three discrete steps for the conversion of the chromene ester (NAD-3) to the corresponding amide (NAD-362), and this is definitely an area for improvement. Initial laboratory trials showed that it was entirely feasible to conduct this transformation directly, but changes in project status did not allow these ideas to be pursued further. 

When search and evaluation are completed, the innovative project under consideration is either dropped or promoted to project status. This requires a project manager.

The project manager facilitates the team-building process and collaborates with the project team to create and execute the project plan. The project manager also acts as the liaison between the team and the client. He or she continually monitors the progress of the project and reports project status periodically to both the client and other interested stakeholders. The project manager works to ensure that the client is satisfied and that the project is completed within the parameters of scope, schedule, cost, and quahty.
